Happy 13th Birthday Alex

Alex’s birthday was May 5th, but because we were busy we delayed celebrating it, and that is totally my fault. Sorry Alex. I know, I am bad. The celebration started with Alex not wanting to move from her bed to greet her one and only guest, Archie. Between you and me, I think she wanted the cake all to herself.

Archie, “Am I getting a piece of cake too?”

Archie was Alex’s guest and because he is a puppy taking this picture took a little bit of planning. What a cutie pie!

Cynthia lit up the candles and both, Alex and Archie, waited patiently until Cynthia took this picture. Yes, they actually cooperated this time.

Alex, “Mom, please hurry up. I am literally aging here.”

It was nice to see Alex so interested in her cake. So interested that it looked as if she was trying to help serve to her own cake. I still can’t believe she is 13 years old. We got Alex when she was a little over 2 months old and she was such a hyper little puppy that to be honest I was somewhat scared of her level of activity. But you know what? It only took her 10 years to mellow out.

Alex., “Finally!”

Alex finally got a chance to taste her cake. No, she did not eat all of it. She had to share it and that was fine with her. Happy belated 13th birthday to our amazing furry kid.
